Abstract
Description
[0001] technical field
[0002] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a method for detecting liver cancer risk genes TSPYL5 Kits and methods for methylation levels. Background technique
[0003] DNA methylation is one of the main contents of epigenetics research. It studies the reversible genetic changes that occur without changing the base sequence of the gene. It is a covalent modification method after DNA molecule replication. In eukaryotes, DNA methylation refers to the transfer of methyl groups to specific bases in DNA molecules using S-adenosylmethionine as a methyl donor under the action of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) process, which mainly occurs on cytosines in CpG dinucleotides. In the genome, the regions where the distribution of CpG dinucleotides is relatively concentrated are called CpG islands (CpG islands, CGIs), ranging in size from 100 to 1000 bp, mainly located in the promoter region and the first exon region of genes; th...
